Tommy Elliot, Andrew Evans and the rest of the Indians are hoping an overtime win over Arlington gives them momentum heading into sectionals.

LAGRANGEVILLE, N.Y.— Mahopac has been on the right side of some thrilling wins this season and that trend continued in an 11-10 overtime victory over host Arlington on Thursday, May 11.

Andrew Evans, a senior captain and face-off guru, scored the game winner with just over three minutes left to cue the celebration.

“The defense forced their offense to turn the ball over and we gave the ball to George Weiss to clear the ball over [midfield], then (coach) Tony (Tanzi) called a timeout,” said Evans, who had two goals, an assist and won 22 out of 25 face-offs. “Shane McDonald dodged down the alley and then rolled back back to me and passed the ball. I caught it, ran down the alley and bounced it in.”

Despite an up and down regular season, Mahopac feels ready for the Class A playoffs after going up against a top-notch schedule.

“The key to making a run in sectionals is to play smart and take care of the ball,” Evans said. “We need to make every shot count. And move the ball around and run the offense. I know the team can make a run and upset some teams.”
